Plant Anatomy & Physiology Test Review

Leaves have openings called stomata. What is their purpose?

• Absorb light to kickstart photosynthesis.

• Open and close to allow the intake of CO2 and release of oxygen.

• Transports sugars throughout the plant.

• It is the growing point located at the tip of the stem.
